Legal Highs Berlin

Unfortunately, the synthetic drug trade does not always go smoothly. Germany will declare 1CP-LSD illegal at the end of this week. Trump hopes his Dutch supplier Lizard Labs will develop an alternative. However, if the entire group of drugs is made illegal – which could happen – then the next legal LSD-type substances will be very different and perhaps more dangerous. The former bitcoin trader — who attended a Catholic school in southern Germany that was at the center of a child abuse cover-up — says he wants to sue the church for its involvement in similar cases around the world. He even founded his own political party, Good People – a slightly derogatory term for “benefactors” in Germany – whose two main policies seem to be the “legalization of drugs” and the “confinement of the mafia” of the church. Some of his ideas wander into conspiracy theory territory — though that doesn`t seem to have hindered his LSD business. This article was not written to encourage the use of illegal drugs, but to make their use as safe as possible. All About Berlin does not tolerate cannabis use. If you decide to break the law, that`s your choice. Be careful and responsible. No, but there are exceptions. For example, CBD oil and cannabis seeds are legal.

But there are also strong economic arguments in favor of a study by the Heinrich Heine University of Düsseldorf, which predicts a new benefit for the German state of 4.7 billion euros per year. This would likely mean €2.8 billion in tax revenue and an assumed saving of €1.36 billion in police, legal and other legal costs. The popularity of mephedrone was boosted by the fact that it was as easy to buy as a banana – the drug was sold in tobacconists, gas stations, head stores and convenience stores. The cheapest way to evaluate it was to use easily searchable websites (for example, not on the dark web) that imported mephedrone directly from Chinese laboratories, where it was made for just £1 per gram. This easy access was due to the fact that mephedrone was technically legal until the authorities banned it in 2010/2011. We all know how this mole game works: the disappearance of one synthetic drug always means the rise of another, and when mephedrone and its chemical cousins methylenedioxypyrovalerone (MDPV) and methylone were banned in the 2010s, 3-MMC was sold as a legal substitute – first in Sweden in 2012. then again throughout Europe in 2020. according to a report by the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA). In September 2020, he created an online store and a Telegram channel. Psychedelics are a bit of a niche market in Berlin, where techno party culture lends itself best to stimulants throughout the weekend. But Trump says demand increased during the lockdown when people were stuck at home. He also staged controversial “LSD legalization” protests in a Berlin park with DJs and a sound system, which he readily admits was a way to circumvent rules against raves during lockdown.

Do you want to score a goal tonight? Well, according to reports from Berlin — home of Berghain, techno, and three-day club nights — it may be easier (and more legal) than you think. Residents of the German capital have apparently chosen chocolate as the new medicine of choice; Sniff it on electronic nights throughout the city. Since opening in March, the small shop has been exploiting loopholes in the law by selling an LSD analogue called 1CP-LSD — a newly developed substance that most governments have yet to ban — labeled a “research chemical.” When in stock, there are usually masses of customers every day who buy micro, mini-dosing, full dosage or “extra dosage” tablets in batches of five to 100. “This method has purely practical reasons,” Demirci told local radio station RBB. “It`s not like we`re legalizing the sale of drugs.” He regularly bought 1CP-LSD online to take himself, so he knew it was possible to sell. Little research has been done on the drug, but one study found that it is a prodrug that the human body converts into LSD. “After seeing other people selling it, I went to a lawyer and got a document saying it was legal,” he says. However, he didn`t have enough money to open a physical store right away. Trump`s backup is to take the store to other countries where 1CP-LSD is still legal, such as Russia and Poland.

“Poland is a very conservative country, so the idea is to try to politicize people through LSD so that they become more critical of institutions like the church,” he says. A more tolerant stance towards the hemp drug and a slow movement towards broader legalization for recreational effects are part of a global trend. Background: Berlin is internationally known for its nightlife. In a national and European comparison, the use of legal and illegal substances in Berlin is comparatively higher than in other comparable cities. However, there is little data on drug use in the party scene. Objective: The aim of this study is to assess the socio-demographic characteristics of the Berlin party scene and its substance use habits as well as expectations for prevention in order to deduce appropriate preventive measures. Methods: Using questionnaires, both online (n = 674) and in the field (n = 203), a total of 877 people from the Berlin party scene were interviewed. The questionnaires were used to determine participants` demographic information and on-site substance use patterns. It also solicited requests for counselling and personal assessments of the usefulness of existing and potential prevention programmes and services. Results: Study participants were 29 years old (SD 7.5); 43% were women. Alcohol is the most common substance in the party scene, followed by cannabis, MDMA/ecstasy, amphetamine, cocaine and ketamine. In this particular cohort, methamphetamine and legal highs did not play a major role.

The most requested prevention measure was more drug education and drug checking. Conclusions: Prevention in this area is both necessary and desirable, and an extension of existing programmes (e.g. politically controversial drug control) should be considered. The herb is not legal in Berlin, but many people still smoke it. This guide explains how people in Berlin typically buy weed. This is partly because, despite widespread fears that fentanyl is contaminating the drug supply in the United States, research chemicals are often considered purer/safer than conventional white powders such as cocaine and ketamine. “I think general users of research chemicals love it,” said the owner of a main store that sells these substances. “[It] eliminates the cheap and very bad illegal drugs that they would normally take on weekends.” What do you think? Too good to be true? Living off clean? Or a really exciting new alternative to our (now illegal) legal highs? Only time — and a quick trip to Whole Foods — will tell. But that sometimes misleading old saw suffered a blow before Christmas when details emerged on a clause in the new tripartite coalition agreement to legalise recreational cannabis. The 3-MMC can also be obtained online and sent by post – no need for traditional smugglers to transport it across international borders. (A friend in Warsaw told me that Polish ravers have been making 3-MMC for ten years because it`s easier to find than speed.) “A shift in the market to plastics will tend to drive down drug prices,” according to a Brookings report.

“In addition to requiring less manpower and minimal territorial control, synthetic drug production is more discreet. Finding drug labs hidden in or next to legal drug factories, such as in China and India, is much more difficult than locating poppy fields. The drug is legal in many US states, and in other places like Canada and Malta, one of the EU`s small states was the first of 27 to take the plunge with legalisation since December 14 last year. This column was originally published in Rave New World, a newsletter by journalist Michelle Lhooq that explores how the counterculture is evolving in the era of platform capitalism, algorithmic oppression, and drug legalization.

One school of thought is that high pharmaceutical standards for medicine need to be relaxed to allow for a drug that is essentially a “legal high.” Some experts suggest that safety standards can be achieved by relaxing pharmaceutical regulations with less stringent food regulations.
